Gun Appreciation Day has it's own web site??? And the sponsors list, lot of money!

I saw a post here about someone seeing a lot of business in a local gun store. I remembered that there was supposed to be a thing to support your local gun dealer. So I went to google to see what date they were planing it. That is when I found this.
http://gunappreciationday.com/

I guess they are serious about it.At the bottom of the page is the Sponsors. It is a Conservative who's who! The money behind it is BIG! You see many of then at the bottom of the front page. Then at the very bottom is a button to see all the sponsors, all 4 pages. In my opinion, with all this stuff they are doing, they are running scared and are ready to fight hard and dirty.

The gun industry is scared that they will have to stop, and rightfully so, those guns that are just to powerful for the public. This has nothing about the Constitution at all!

the flyers talk about doing it "chick - fil-a style" so they want you to support the $tores to protest
Spending seems to be the answer they have for paranoia and it is a good sales pitch
Fools and their money.....

They are running scared that they will have to stop selling some of their biggest money makers. They are also on of the biggest supporters of the NRA. So trying to do something like this is to try and make as much as they can before they have to stop.

I think this shows that they don't think that the NRA can stop the new gun legislation that is being talked about.

Or the libertarian bent.

All of them.

And the best part is I recognized them.

Curious, none of the tea party are part of it.
